10 Best Adventure Games on Oculus Quest ([Year])

If there’s anything I love to do more than anything, it’s embark on an adventure via a VR headset. I feel they bring the fantasy worlds most to life, with such incredible detail and immersive design. 

Many of the VR adventures you’ll find are likely already familiar to you, whether through movies and console titles. The likes of The Walking Dead and Assassin’s Creed have become quite popular. 

But there are also some brand-new entries you can check out. Here are the best adventure games on Oculus Quest this year that stand out the most.

What is an Adventure Game?

An adventure game is essentially a gamified story, where you unravel an intriguing narrative with a protagonist and side characters in tow. But you’re also engaged throughout your playthrough via solving puzzles, interacting with objects, fighting enemies, and so on.

Best Adventure Games on Oculus Quest

As the Oculus Quest continues to add more exciting adventures, make sure to keep track of the best adventure games on Oculus Quest below.

10. Down the Rabbit Hole

Reading the blurb about Down the Rabbit Hole, I can already see how addicting it’s going to be. Experiencing the world of Alice in Wonderland for oneself. My, oh, my, does that sound totally wonderful. 

You’re here as a young girl looking for your lost pet, Patches. But of course, the charm of Wonderland makes you take detours into places unknown. Being the steward of your own adventure, your time here can be anything you want it to be. 

So, you don’t run out of things to do, though the game sets you up with lots of twists and turns, as well as puzzles to solve and secrets to discover.

9. The Vader Immortal VR Series

Star Wars is up there with the list of cinematic films you ought to experience in VR. From the films, you already know it’s going to be a blast. But so you’re constantly blown away by the events that unfold, Vader Immortal: A Star Wars VR Series comes up with its own story.

It takes place in three parts, all of which include cinematic storytelling sequences and interactive gameplay. You’ll explore the Star Wars universe, specifically the world of Darth Vader himself, but as a smuggler. This gives you a unique perspective to comb through every nook and cranny of the ancient secrets that lie ahead.

8. Bonelab

Bonelab, on the other hand, is a place of experimentation. But these aren’t done voluntarily. As an outcast, you have no choice but to face the abominations that lie in a hidden underground facility. 

Can you survive the challenging experiments-gone-wrong deep at the heart of the facility? Will the clues you collect be enough to find a way out?

7. The Room VR: A Dark Matter

Picking up where The Room left off, you’ll travel back in time to The British Institute of Archaeology, London, 1908, where the disappearance of an esteemed Egyptologist has just sparked a police investigation. 

But The Room VR: A Dark Matter doesn’t intend to conduct the investigation in any expected way. It uses cryptic locations and ancient history to spark curiosity about the unknown. The line between reality and illusion will blur as you draw deeper into discovering stranger things.

6. Myst

Myst makes it to the best adventure games on Oculus Quest based purely on its beautiful design. The world looks and feels inviting, with its spark of intrigue enshrouding every greenery, building, and design. You forge into the islands knowing very little but somehow, finding a way to an ending you’re proud of.

5. Demeo

Having tabletop RPGs reimagined in VR is a dream come true, taking away the need to cuddle around a table in the same physical location. You can play tabletop games online, of course, but having the worlds breathe to life all around you feels more breathtaking. 

As expected, Demeo recreates the adventures you love from its tabletop counterpart. You experience the same magic of forming your party and ridding the dark forces of the dungeon-crawling world.

4. Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR

Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR has been built from the ground up, bringing the life of an assassin to your fingertips. You can now feel the adrenaline of melee combat, crawl around cities without making a sound, and jump from ledge to ledge atop sky-towering buildings.

Play as three legendary Assassins as you try to stop Abstergo from enacting his evil plans against the people.

3. The Walking Dead: Saint and Sinners

Also on the list of the best adventure games on Oculus Quest is The Walking Dead: Saint and Sinners. It gives you options and leaves you to decide which path to take. Whether scavenging for food, facing the undead, or teaming up with the other survivors, your journey is yours to make and shape.

2. Moss

At times, you need a game tailor-made for VR to truly tap into something special. And Moss is just that. Despite its humble story of a young mouse desperate to become something more, its execution takes your breath away with its charm and emotionally-provoking moments. 

The world feels ripped right out of a storybook adventure, and gameplay feels just the same, whimsical and a joy to behold. All the elements of an excellent adventure are here, whether clever puzzles, fearsome enemies, or deep exploration of diverse realms.

1. Red Matter

You might be humanity’s last hope, as you set forth into space, to a deserted Volgravian base on Rhea, which is Saturn’s mysterious moon. There, a clandestine project is presumed to be the key to stopping a dystopian Cold War and saving humanity. 

Red Matter may be the closest you can get to experiencing life in space. With its deeply immersive world, showcasing derelict landscapes and brutalist space station architecture, you truly feel as if you are an astronaut on a crucial life-or-death mission.

It provides the perfect escape from this world into one filled with possibilities, all without ever leaving your living room.
